WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Tenuta Perano 2015 is a brilliant purple wine with a floral noseenhanced by fruity notes of wild blackberry, raspberry andcherry, which lead into balsamic highlights of eucalyptus andthyme accompanied by mineral touches of graphite and spicypink pepper. The tannic structure is typical of Chianti Classico,it caresses the palate leaving it clean and fresh. The intense and persistent finishes leaves a pleasant walnut nuance. Serving suggestions: Ideal with meat ragù and all red meats. The wine is especially well-suited with aged cheeses.
TASTING NOTES:
This shows real freshness and character with crushed stones, blackberry pie, vanilla and tobacco in addition to the lemon undertones. The palate shows lots of depth but also really excellent balance. Full body, structured tannins and acidity that really drives this through to the chewy finish. Drink in 2020.
